"Fly Me to the Moon: A Tribute to Quincy Jones" Featuring the Pacific Jazz Orchestra
- The Soraya, 18111 Nordhoff St., Northridge
Long before Michael Jackson and “We Are the World,” the musician/arranger/producer Quincy Jones worked his way up, first from humble beginnings as a jazz trumpeter and then scoring films when he moved to Los Angeles. His lifelong impact is huge, including a long list of those whom he mentored, among them bandleader and arranger Chris Walden, who is also founder and artistic director of the Pacific Jazz Orchestra. The Soraya and Pacific Jazz Orchestra’s 17-piece big band pay homage with Fly Me to the Moon: A Tribute to Quincy Jones, a concert that features his work onstage and onscreen and transports us to his beginnings in the 1960s. Featuring Conductor Chris Walden and special guests Lisa Fischer and José James.
Date: Saturday, Oct. 18, 8 p.m.
Cost: $54–$129
Address:
The Soraya at CSUN
